With Halloween not far away, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone due in theaters Nov. 16, this is a happy time for fans of the boy wizard from J.K. Rowling's best-selling novels.

        The four books at the center of the phenomenon are still in high demand and winning new fans every day, as well as customers for Harry Potter trading cards, backpacks, posters, action figures and puzzles.

        All of which makes us wonder: Who is the biggest Harry Potter fan of all?

        Is it you? A classmate who prowls the Internet for messages about the g movie? A neighbor who knows every nook and cranny of the Hogwarts world? A sister who recruits new members of the Harry circle on a daily basis? Perhaps it's a parent who got hooked reading the books to the little ones? Or a grandparent who specializes in wizard costumes?

        What makes a true fan? What's the most extreme example of fan-hood you've ever seen? We want to hear all about it. Write, fax or e-mail us by Sept. 25 and tell us who you think is the most devoted Harry Potter fan, and why.
